Which carved top?

[haceteunosmates]

Hello people. I'm new to the forums. I've been designing my "dream" guitar and I'd like to know which body made by Warmoth looks the closest to a Schecter C 1 Artist.

I was looking at the Soloist carved bodies but I cant tell from the pictures if it looks similar to the Schecter or not because they are too small. Can anybody help me? Thank you and sorry for my english.

The Schecter guitars have a body very similar to the Soloist body.

The solois looks similar, but not exactly a clone... It will have the horns a little thinner, but looks cool to metal:

I would guess VIP. :toothy11:

Has to be the carved top Soloist ccasion14:

soloist without a doubt. if you're going for an "upscale" schecter then you could go with a VIP, but to 99% of the people out there a VIP will just look like a PRS-style body. the carved top soloist is definitely the closest

Thank you all very much! One more question. I'm planning to build a body with a quilted maple top and then the blue burst finish. Is it transparent enough to let one see the quilted maple underneath?

 

[Nando Vallart]

Yes...  Have a look on the options here:

Aw.. no quilted maple tops for Soloist bodies?

 

[Kaoskadosk]

Huh? You can most definitely get a quilted maple top for soloists. It's not in the dropdown menu, but if you look at the Unique Choice section you can see available quilts. You'll have to make a note about it when ordering, that's how I got my Flame Koa.

He's talking on Carved Tops... there are some on Unique Choice for carved top...

 

[haceteunosmates]

So what, I check the unique wood section and pick the serial number of the wood piece I'd like for my top and then tell them about this?

Yes, when you'll place the order you say that you'll like with Unique Choice NºXXXXX.... perhaps you should call if there is other option, but so far this is the option

I though if you wanted quilt with a carved top, it had to be double laminate...

You can have it, but it's freaking expensive...

I would go with the soloist.  I went from a Schecter C1 EA to this and I'm stuck on Warmoth for life.  My 5A quilt top was $300 above the price for the body but that was back before the "Unique Choice" options.  Here's the like to my baby.
